HELP! What to wear tomorrow!?!

Post by Dub Rubb »

Edit: view in browser if you want to partake in the poll.

I know this is last minute, and technically doesn't matter because nobody will notice anyways. Well, I will know dammit! What would you guys do?

Tomorrow afternoon, I am having engagement photos taken with my fiancee. Very casual, at most khakis and a nicer button down untucked.

However, afterwards we are going to a fancy restaurant with her family for a different occasion. I don't often have good opportunities to wear my nicer watches, and I want to choose a watch/strap combo that is best of both worlds and will work best for both situations.

The obvious answer(to me at least) would have been to buy the damm AT on bracelet in the first place you idiot! The black leather strap looks a little too formal for me, but may still be okay.

I have until about 1pm pacific time to decide. What do you guys think?ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Borat style mankini and the largest, gaudiest gold watch you can get your hands on.

Seriously though, the Omega on strap will be just fine for both.

You got me thinking. If I bought the woman something really nice, I could rock these 2 in tandem and have the most memorable engagement photos of all time. That's what it's all about anyways right? Memories right?!?ImageImage

If your outfit can match the reddish brown leather, I like that watch/strap combo.

Alright, well I found out when I asked her why she was ironing 2 outfits that apparently we are doing a "costume change". She didn't appreciate that was what I referred to it as and said it was just different outfits. Whatever. Either way, my lovely stylist has also picked out shoes for me (bye bye Adidas!) which are sending me more in the direction of the reddish brown hadley Roma. Watch is still undecided, but I am leaning heavily towards the AT. They are all 20mm so I am gonna do some strap changes and see what works best. Here is the current poll winner.
It ain't over yet though boys. Image

Bring all 3 in a roll. They're all killers. If you're not feeling the AT at that moment, you could switch to either of the Seikos.

Alright, I wasn't anticipating it, but you win best answer Yinzburgher. This does indeed look good! And she didn't even bat an eye when I brought it on vacation. Hmmmm. Maybe just bring all the watches to take pictures of. I could use a professional to up my WRUW game!

I am seriously considering bringing this, plus a diver on the wrist. Who is she to complain? She has shoes and purses to go with different outfits. What's the difference?!?

Oh man, now I feel like watches are equivalent to purses. I don't know if that is good or bad. This is becoming eye opening since I generally don't care too much about my appearance (just my watch lol).Image

The only real answer is to bring them all. A mechanic doesn't bring 1 tool, he brings a toolbox [emoji16]

I was too late to help with the poll. But I gotta know. Did you wear the diver? Which watch did you end up wearing, and where is the watch selfie? :D

BTW: Always thought it would be fun to have a subforum "Tell me which watch to wear." In the subforum, a member starts a new thread one morning where they create a poll of at least X number of watches, and the next day, they have to stick by what the community votes for and wear it all/most of the day. And of course, a watch selfie is required as proof! :)
